I don't think its really free. If you download, you will be told so: *Note:* The Font Pack software contained in this package is being licensed to you solely for use with Adobe® Reader® software ("Adobe Reader") and is subject to the terms and conditions of the electronic End-User License Agreement accompanying your version Adobe Reader.

The question wether you can use the fonts with other programs than Adobe Reader was asked a few times in different lists and the only useful answer i found is the following: http://www.typeforum.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=259

Err, can you provide at least a 1-sentence summary in English? :-) IANAL, but TeX users will mostly be using the font only with Adobe Reader/Acrobat anyway. So as long as you don't use gs or xpdf :D [What a nonsensical rule, I doubt it's enforceable] Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
